Hi,
In order to fix a crash we had in a cluster, we installed the
patch VAXPHV02_062.
The crash was inside net$fddi+51cd
This fixed the problem, but had the side effect to put the
FDDI STATION STATE TO off.
I did some checks and found that the image NET$FDDI.EXE is
responsible for this.
Our Customer configuration is the following:
- Multisite Vaxcluster based on 4*Vax 7630
- 2*fddi interface
- 2*ethernet interface
- Ovms Vax 6.2
- Decnet Osi 6.3 Eco06
In order to have the fddi back in service, I restored the image
NET$FDDI.EXE we had before to apply the patch.
So now we have EX/FXDRIVER and NET$CSMACD from the patch
and NET$FDDI from Osi 6.3
Does anybody have any experiences on that ?
Regards
Roberto Desideri (MCS Rome Italy)

Roberto,

No you don't -- NET$FDDI comes with VMS, not with DNVOSI. So, you probably
have the NET$FDDI from VMS V6.2.
> Does anybody have any experiences on that ?
No, but I expect it to work most of the time. Specifically, you may experience
some or all of the VMS V6.2 NET$FDDI bugs which have been fixed by the fix kit!
Regards,
John

| 3882.2 | "Cosmetic problem" fddi circuit is working | ROMTSS::DESIDERI | Mon Mar 03 1997 16:13 | 98 | |
I've noticed that the problem is only "cosmetic", actually the
fddi circuit is working properly
The following shows the difference between a system with and
without the patch installed
